Ecosystem Supports

ZERO — Emerge: The model begins with a shared, collective vision: the singularity or wholeness from which connected individuals/groups/ecosystems draw meaning.
The WELL

Functionally, this is the base field, the overall purpose or design vision.

ONE — Expose: Each individual, team, subgroup sees the collective through its own lens.
Functionally, understanding how individual capacities, constraints, and perspectives relate to the larger vision is critical to movement.
The View

TWO — Encounter: Inherent tensions exist naturally between perspectives including differing priorities, resources, or interpretations of the vision - these are the contours of the map and the territory.
Functionally, surface friction is understood as a critical design element, not a bug — the model deploys tension to generate dynamism -
The Spark

THREE — Engender: This is the level of synthesis — the tension moves to integrating perspectives through active exploration of the breadth of perspectives — both similarity and differences, while staying grounded in the collective vision.
The Stretch
Functionally, this is comergent design, where innovation arises from combining diverse inputs without losing the bass field of purpose.

FOUR — Evolve: New structures are evolved or formed to channel energy efficiently through processes stewarded through coleadership and honest feedback loops.

Functionally, the design ensures sustainability and coherence, fostering emergent results to circulate without collapse.
The Nest

FIVE — Engage: The play begins through implementation of the emergent design. Ground-level accomplishments, decisions, inventions, products, services, and cultural shifts are realized and celebrated. Challenges are engaged as opportunities for refinement.
Functionally, intentional manifestation aligned with both the vision and the emergent innovation in the broader community seeds increased possibility.
The Works

SIX — Elevate: The networked community expresses accordance across multiple spaces and dimensions while fostering and preserving diversity of perspective and offerings.
Functionally, robust interconnectivity, redundancy and resilience support continuous development and expansion — the collective learns to operate adaptively.

THE FLOW

SEVEN — Re-Emerge: The model returns to the common purpose, while it continuously evolves. The community reflects on what has been created — successes, innovations, and challenges. This becomes the new baseline.
Functionally, this is the manifestation of the learning loop, where the results and lessons refine the vision — sustaining evolution and adaptation. The Seven becomes the new Zero.
The REMEMBERING

And Begin Again

​

When you arrive at this new space, it becomes the new place of beginning the cycle again.

​

The Core of this work centers on leading with RESPECT, creating the safety for TRANSPARENCY, which opens the space for RECIPROCITY, which yields TRUST. The cycle is iterative. With each journey through the stages of development, these aspects deepen which expands the capacity for the community to take on greater challenges leading to the development of increased innovation, power, impact.
